I'll start....
1.)Everytime I hit the access ramp onto the express way, I find myself "checking my 7 o'clock " to see who wants to deny my spot on the expressway....
2.) There is nothing that puts a "lane switcher" in check than to give 'em a taste of the BOV and a quick pull.....
3.)Pulling 300ft on most cars without downshifting.....
4.) The pull on a 5-2 or 4-2 downshift.......
5.) On a hwy run I will GIVE most cars at least full car length before pulling on them(65-120 in HOW fast?)!!!
6.) I ALWAYS turn OFF TCS now........

to feel that pull when you hit the gas and in between shifts hearing that sweet sweet sound of air blowing though your BOV. feels good everytime.
the second best thing is giving people rides and the famous "oh SH*T" i cant tell you how many times i have had people say that! just a good feeling inside to know you have something alot of people would like to have but dont know much about.

lol yeah right, I can take stock C5 corvettes with my NA Z. Maybe if the Z driver doesn't shift or launch right. It could be a pretty close race though. So since FI Z's seem to do anywhere from 11.7-13 sec 1/4 mile I'd say you're wrong. Especially from a roll
average C5 drivers do 1/4 mile at around 13.2-13.3 @ 107.x mph
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...7&forum_id=108
averaged A4 (most vettes seem to be A4) w/ 2.73 gears
13.5375 @ 104.14mph
averaged A4 with 3.15 gears
13.35 @ 104.33
averaged M6 with 3.42 gears
13.235 @ 107.357mph
bone stock Z's run 13.6-14.1 with probably a 13.85 average

- Racing a C6 or Corbra or P Turbo and spanking their ***!
- Passengers commenting about not being able to lift their head off the head rest!
- The sound of the Turbo
- The sound of the blow-off
- Knowing that you can take just about any car on the road, so you don't need to prove it on the street, you wait for the track!

I've had so many people roll up and go "damn that thing is the fastest thing ive ever seen. Or damn that sounds like a Ferrari." Im thinking yeah I wish it was.
Or some other people, damn thats a nice Porsche.
I even heard some girl with her man go, what kind of Porsche is that and how much does it cost. He's goes " I don't know" and thats it didn't say anything else. HAHAHAHAHHAH
